NJAC Freedom Prospects To Watch This Summer
Alex Fydryszewski
In this article:
<p>The NJAC Freedom has some quality teams, including Jefferson and Hackettstown, who return a plethora of talent this coming year. There are some players who are being slept on in this area and many of them reside in this division.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1402076" first="Jason" last="Eisele"]</strong> | 6’2” | G | Jefferson</p>
<p>Eisele was an all county selection as a junior and a multi sport athlete. An athletic scorer with a good mid range game. Moves well without the ball and can hit it from deep. He had 26 vs Wayne Hills, 29 vs Wallkill Valley and 22 vs Pequannock. Part of a group of talented returnees.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1402084" first="Darien" last="Santos"]</strong> | G | Hackettstown</p>
<p>Burst on the scene as a junior as a capable shooter and one of the top offensive players in Northwestern NJ. He can light it up from deep and will be part of a very talented team as a senior. His top games as a junior were 34 vs Boonton, 22 vs Madison and 21 vs Caldwell.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1402083" first="Ethan" last="Almeida"]</strong> | G | Hackettstown</p>
<p>Almeida has been a bit role player on varsity since his freshman year but emerged as a go-to scorer as a junior with a very capable outside game. He also did a lot of the dirty work on the glass last winter, posting three double-doubles—Hunterdon Central(20&10), McNair(23&10), and Madison(17&11)</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1013101" first="Chris" last="Ross"]</strong> | G | Wallkill Valley</p>
<p>Quick lefty guard with solid ball handling skills who can shoot it from deep and flat out score at all levels. He’s probably one of the better players nobody’s talking about because he’s tucked away in northwestern New Jersey. He had 30 vs Par Hills, 27 vs Newton, 30 vs Vernon and 32 vs Pope John.</p>
